I sit down in a swing and starts pushing me softly. After I get high enough Louis walks out in front of the swing with his arms wide open. "Jump baby! I’ll catch you. I always will. I’ll never let you fall." the class 'awes' I smile and mentally laugh that line is so cheesy.

"One...two...threeeeeep!" I scream as I jump into Louis arms and he catches me spinning around. I laugh until we fall and I land on top as planned. I lean down and kiss his nose. "You’re so cheesy sometimes it's cute. Oh Lou lets go for a walk!"

I jump off him and help him up. We walk down the sidewalk holding hands, walking in step, swinging arms. The funny thing, this is normal for us. Wait, why is Louis singing? Oh well improv Sapphire! What’s he singing anyway? Oh that's cute.... it's 'Never Let You Go' by Justin Bieber.

“They say that hate has been sent

So let loose the talk of love

Before they outlaw the kiss

Baby, give me one last hug

There's a dream that I've been chasing

Want so badly for it to be reality

And when you hold my hand then I understand

That it's meant to be

'Cause baby when you're with me

It's like an angel came by

And took me to heaven

'Cause when I stare in your eyes

It couldn't be better”

By now we're standing under a cute tree holding hands looking into each other’s eyes.

" So let the music blast

We gon' do our dance

Bring the doubters on

They don't matter at all

'Cause this life's too long

And this love's too strong

So baby, know for sure

That I'll never let you go”

Louis says something and I almost cry from cuteness because I know where he's going with this. "Firefly... do you know what dream I’ve been chasing?" I shake my head like I have no clue. He smiles and gets down on one knee. "My dream is that one day I can say you'll be mine forever, then I can truly say I’ll never let you go. Sapphire... will you marry me?"

I bust into tears and nod my head eagerly crying out "yes! Yes!" he slides the ring onto my finger and stands before I jump into his arms. I wrap my legs around his waist and hold the back of his neck for support. His hands move to my face and we lean in I close my eyes and I feel his soft fingers against my lips.

I feel more pressure added as his lips attack his fingers and we 'make out'. When we pull apart my moves his hands to hold me up and we lean foreheads together. "I Love you Boobear."

He smiles "I love you more than you'll ever know Firefly." I wish he could realise I’m telling the truth. I really am in love with Louis Tomlinson.

"Hey finch can we go now?" I ask as Louis dries my fake tears then he adds "we have to get back to class before it ends." finch nods and waves his hand at us signaling us to go while he talks to his class.

Louis walks in front of me looking at the clouds. They’re really puffy like pillows today... he always gets really distracted looking at the clouds. Just like an innocent child.

We once laid for an entire day watching the clouds pointing out shapes. That was a fun day. We talked a lot and sometimes we were silent enveloped in our own thoughts. That must be how he is right now. Perfect.

I run at his back and jump on him, normally he doesn't even teeter but because he was so interested in the clouds he didn't hear me coming so we fell to the ground. Louis rolled underneath me so I’m laying on his chest.

"Not fair. You know how I get looking at the clouds."

I smirk "yeah I do... I just had to." he smiles and kisses my forehead leaving his lips lingering there a little longer than necessary? Was I hallucinating that?

"You are something else Firefly." I laugh and he sits up causing me to straddle him. I squeal as he stands unexpectedly. He shifts me so I’m bridal style and he dances through the halls. Me laughing and holding on for dear life.

As we enter our class everyone was leaned around the window talking. As soon as the door clicked behind us they all turned and stared at us dead silent. That was until Liam yells "what the hell! We didn't even know you were dating! And now you're romantically proposing? Great friends you are!" everyone cheers except the other members of our group. Louis and I laugh so hard he almost drops me and I almost wet myself.

"Guys we aren't dating and we aren't finances or what ever...." I say in between some laughs. Harry groans, "We watched the whole thing! Zayn even got it on video. He said will you marry me? You said yes! You’re wearing a rock on your finger and he's holding you bridal style! Don’t lie to us!"

Louis takes my left hand holding it close to his face "it is a big rock isn't it?" I nod laughing, "shoot! We need to go give it back to finch!" we start to walk out the door until the homeroom teacher stops us. "You both have that class next. Now explain to me why you kept this all a secret" Niall looks sad.

"Guys! We aren't dating! Loubear set me down for a second." he does as told and I continue on "you 3 of all people should know. We get paid to do romantic scenes. Finch wanted us to demonstrate one for his class to get us more business. Zayn give me your phone I need to watch this. This one had to be cute. All Louis' idea actually." I can't understand why they don't believe us. I’ll just have to prove it.

I plug Zayn’s phone into the projector and watch us being romantic. It is cute and I cry again while he's proposing. I pause it "right here. I’m crying because it was so cute just like I am now. You all saw me when we watched camp rock in music class for the fun of it. I balled my freaking eyes out cause it was so cute and they didn't even kiss!" some one starts to talk nu-uh bad choice.

"Don’t interrupt me! I cried harder this time because it was even cuter and it makes you feel good when someone is saying it to you whether they mean it or not! Now watch the 'kiss'..." I do air quotes and press play my eyes are closed and we're leaning in. I pause it just as Louis hands cover my mouth.

"Honestly! Does this position look easy! If we were really kissing his hands would have been on my butt or my back holding me up but no! They were on my face covering my lips... so we didn't even really kiss. Look! Now if you don't believe me you are a retard ya hear?"

Louis smirks and whispers in my ear "I think you scared them... and can I pick you up again now?"

I laugh "sure boo." his hands snake around my waist and my legs lifting me into the air. I thought how perfect this felt and how it should always be like this. How I so badly wanted it. Then I thought of losing this friendship and how I couldn’t live a life without Louis even if he is just my best friend I would rather that then nothing at all. We walk over to our seats by the window and I smile looking at the clouds with him. Slowly everyone goes back to his or her seats and I hear a few whispers about how cute we would be. But I mean who can blame them... picture us! Me sitting on his lap smiling at him laughing as he points out shapes in the clouds.

He truly is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever known.
